Expectations & core mandate

The aviation policy outlines the Federal Council's expectations of Zurich Airport as follows:

„Because Zurich Airport is a key infrastructure, it is vital for Switzerland that it runs smoothly. It must continue to provide the infrastructure that airlines need to maintain the best possible direct connections between Zurich and Europe and the world's major cities, and to thereby satisfy the needs of the market. We also expect the airport to support airline hub operations. Zurich Airport must provide an environment that enables airlines to compete with their rivals at other airports".

It is from this statement that we derive our core mandate, which is

„to satisfy the demand for direct connections to the world's major cities"

Alongside the mandate to ensure good international connections, Flughafen Zürich AG is also obliged as a listed company to increase added value and ensure prudent management. To sustainably optimise both the increase in added value and the fulfilment of the mandate, we must better use the existing capacities while creating additional ones.
